I have noticed some crackers (saltines, etc.) that have sour dough culture listed as an ingredient. When I look this up it says that lactic acid may be involved. I have heard that lactic acid may come from a milk source.

My daughter is severely allergic to milk and I was wondering if anyone knows if these ingredients are safe?

If it's lactate or lactic acid, it's not from dairy (exception - sterol lactate due to the stearic acid). "Lac" ingredients are usually produced by a fermentation process using cornstarch or beet sugar. Lactose is always from dairy. Most ingredients made with with calcium are vegan (i.e. calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate). The exceptions are calcium caseinate and calcium stearate.
